GRIDScaler

MASSIVELY SCALABLE PARALLEL FILE SYSTEM WITH NAS CONNECTIVITY

The rapid increase in data creation, driven by the proliferation of digital content and machine generated data has created significant challenges for IT managers. Today, growing capacity or performance means selecting either scale-up or scale-out approaches that usually result in over provisioning, and are costly and inefficient at scale. This limited choice results in overhead associated with managing either multiple islands of storage or inefficient budgetary spend, leading to lower returns on investment.

Leveraging over a decade of leadership in the highest end of Big Data, GRIDScaler can handle the diverse and dynamic demands of today’s massive unstructured data generators. Designed to be an extremely versatile solution meet your unique requirements, it’s configurable as a parallel file system with NAS connectivity and Cloud integration options. With scalable data and metadata technology, the GRIDScaler platform eliminates all bottlenecks to achieve true parallelism and maximum application performance.

SEAMLESS MIGRATION OF DATA

Data is ingested into GridScaler and copied to WOS, or written directly to WOS – and then exposed as a NAS mount point, or data is ingested into WOS via NFS or CIFS and accessible to GridScaler as a NAS mount point.

Collaborate between geographically distributed teams and business partners by seamlessly migrating data to and from GRIDscaler to WOS.

THE MOST FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS

For the Largest Environments GRIDScaler is available on a variety of industry-leading enclosures for the highest performance and capacity storage.
